3. a. I don’t see any indication that Moses premeditated the outcome. It only says “it happened that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens.” Perhaps he heard a disturbing report of cruelty toward a Hebrew man.

I wonder…Moses probably had military training. Perhaps Moses always wore a sheathed sword at his waist. So, even if Moses was carrying a weapon, it wouldn’t indicate premeditation. The text doesn’t mention how the Egyptian was killed.

Moses was Pharaoh’s son. If he told the soldier to drop his weapon, he would have done it.

He regarded disgrace—He would rather put up with people being mean to him and live a hard life.

for the sake of Christ—because Jesus, God’s son, was so much more important to him

than the treasures of Egypt—than lots of money, lots of cool clothes, lots of shoes and hats, lots of toys and games, a really fancy house, lots of pizza and treats, heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, and lots of friends who are nice to him and want to hang out with him

because he was looking ahead to his reward—because he wanted the HUGE prize he would get for waiting
